Sad to see him go, good actor.

Is anyone left alive in the shot?

Gary Burghoff (Radar) David Stiers (Maj. Winchester) and Loretta Swit (Hotlips) are still around too IIRC.

Earlier today I watched a video of George Carlin and Richard Pryor on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Ed Mahon.

I am old enough that I might have seen that episode when it aired (unlikely as my parents wouldn't let me stay up that late), and all four of those guys are gone now.

Something more interesting for us aerospacers, I am really shocked that I did not get these news in 2016:

August:

Joe Sutter (Project lead of the 747)

I know I was spending time at the beach at that time and did not get many news. But compared to many other "celebrities", this one is a real legend.

Guess what, someone finally did the math:

TL;DR: Yep, 2016 stand out in celebrity deaths.

And another one from 2016: December 28:

Jean-Christophe Victor, 69, political scientist and moderator of the TV show "Le Dessous des cartes".

His TV show is still one of my favorites on arte, very fascinating presentation.

 

[ex-orbinaut]

Nah, forget it. I'd posted something of an old friend I only just found out passed away in 2016. He was quite a prominent guy in the USMC, but I concluded it is personal, really.

Just the same...

Rest in Peace.
